How secure are unique biological processes under the traditional systems of reserves, where use limits are applied and changed to address the unique threats in an area. Lock up and lock out appears to be is a simple way to avoid long term environmental impact and increase biodiversity, but does it work? Experienced ecosystems observers say interference is " not all bad", sighting some of our oldest National Parks where biodiversity has decreased because of closure. Management and use is not all

How did this National Park forest get here? Its blackwood dominant and a bushfire didn't start it. What was it/

The lack of trust is a severe impediment to the integrity of the conservation movement . After all. which government or person or insititution should we trust to manage land in perpetuity--let alone next week
The object of trust keeps changing , which means whom should we trust to advise us whom we should trust ?
We don't trust the Feds over Pt Napean , why trust the State? They have no money to manage-- only money to write policy!
The non trustees are so non trusting they want up lock things up so the potentail users ( and payers ) can't get near them ? Unless you happen to be one of them ?- a walker
Why should we trust the walkers ? another NIMBY issue where we are asked to trust independant planning advice from one set of neighbours who want their current neighborhood to not change.
Clearly the government leaders are not helping themselves by allowing the role of independant planning advisors to run down and allowing the nimbys to run riot .see

Who needs help ? Jon Feine ABC radio host Melb is happy to spend public radio time chasing funding for the VNPA? as a result of the "enormous burden of their administrative costs" a figure of $80000 was mentioned ( per State?) . Lots of community groups don't get anything, let alone a group whose blinkered view of "community" means imposing one generations view of what should happen in the future. We are supposed to believe that their "one way"( equals our way?) is to ditch the sound tested system of leasing because is " not secure enough? " when its clearly a lot more flexible than imposing one generations idea of whats right with the DMP. What's wrong with a lease ?- you don't trust your grandchildren?
Why should the Feds fund the impractical greens - they get mostly what they want anyway? What do the greens really want in their campaign to "save Point Nepean?'? Do they know yet? Do they want us to pull down everything and keep out everybody but walkers? If they are agreed about the future need , what does their research say is the best way to allow public control into the future? Maybe Nick and Jon and David Kemp would like to blog on why long leases are impractical , why leases aren't good enough for the very bright greens , how their organisation is representative , but can't get enough supporters ? Why they can run campaigns on our radio stations, but still need federal government help to do so / we'll send em an invite eh ! <

Visitors to the Otway fly will climb amongst the tallest flowering plants in the world, growing in the wettest place in Southern Australia . These areas on top of the Otways are some of the most productive timber growing areas in the State . What is the point of locking them all up, as their future, and that of associated biosystems, is dependant on man managing fires within and around them?
